Intervening into fields including posthumanist, disability, animal and feminist studies, and current critiques of capitalism and consumerism, Frida Beckman explores the possibility of recovering a theory of sexuality from Deleuze's work. She thereby makes a definitive contribution to cultural, conceptual and political debates about sexuality.
Frida Beckman has written an undoubtedly provocative account of the uneasy relations, even points of tension and contradiction, between feminist and queer conceptions of sexual pleasure and the deterritorializing philosophies of Deleuze and Guattari. This book successfully opens sexuality out to new conceptions and new forces that link it directly to the most pressing political questions of today. * Elizabeth Grosz, Duke University *
